Found  only  in  "wet"  seasons,  when 
there  is  sufficient  rain  to  fill  the  low 
depressions  on  top  of  the  mesus,  in 
which  it  grows.  As  there  are  often 
several  dry  seasons  in  succession  it 
must  have  the  power  of  lying  dor- 
mant indefinitely,  if,  as  may  we.l  be  the 
case,  it  does  not  make  a  small  growth 
in  winter  even  when  not  submersed.  It 
is  not  unique  in  this  respect,  however, 
as  well  ripened  specimens  of  Eatoni 
and  Bootti  have  been  found  to  retain 
sufficient  vitality  to  grow  after  being 
dried  and  kept  in  the  herbarium  six 
months  or  more,  while  Motelay  (Mon. 
Isoetes)  states  that  Engelmanni  has 
been  raised  at  the  Botanic  Gardens  of 
Bordeaux  from  spores  taken  from  her- 
barium specimens. 

"A  few  of  its  anatomical  characters 
r^.ay  not  be  without  interest  to  stu- 
dents of  the  genus.  The  rigidity  of  the 
leaves  is  not  owing  to  the  bast-bun- 
dles, which  are  small,  but  to  the  epi- 
dermal cells,  which  are  large  (13-17  u). 
v.ith  a  very  thick  outer  wall  (4.4  u). 
As  with  all  terrestrial  species,  the  leaf 
cavities  are  very  small  and  the  dissep- 


34 

inents  correspondingly  thick,  from  9-12 
cells  on  the  vertical  to  6  on  the  trans- 
verse, Occasionally  a  bast-bundle  is 
absent  and  its  place  occupied  by  an- 
other layer  of  epidermal  cells.  1  have 
teen  unable  to  find  stomata  but  from 
the  character  of  the  plant  I  think  they 
are  present,  at  times,  at  least.  The 
leaves  are  very  small  and  difficult  to 
manipulate,  owing  to  the  thick  dissep- 
inents  and  walls,  which  must  be  re- 
moved after  splitting  the  leaf  by  scrap- 
ing, before  the  stomata  could  be  seen. 
The  terrestrial  species  heretofore 
found  all  have  stomata,  though  fewer 
than  the  amphibious. 

"This  is  the  only  North  American 
sj-ecies  with  ashy  spores,  though  one 
black  or  dark  brown  spored  species, 
Melanospora.  is  found.  Colored  spores 
are  found  on  several  widely  separated 
species.  Tasmania  gives  Gunnii,  Stu- 
arti,  and  Hookeri  with  glaucous  or 
ashy  spores;  Australia  gives  Muellerl 
with  ashy  and  tripus  with  fuscous 
spores.  From  South  America  we  have 
Gardneriana  with  blackish  spores,  and 
from  Central  Africa  Nigritana  and 
Welwitschii  with  glaucous  spores.  Sev- 
eral other  species  have  spores  that  are 
not  chalk-white,  the  usual  color. 

"In  all  cases  the  color  seems  to  be  a 
pigment  secreted  in  the  spore  itself, 
the  enveloping  silica  having  the  usual 
white  color,  and  all  elevations  have  a 
chalky  whiteness 

"When  the  deposit  of  silica  is  thin 
the  spores  are  dark  brown,  and  ashy 
when  it  is  thicker."— A.  A.  Eaton,  Fern 
bulletin  8:13  (1900).

The  California  toyon,  or  tollon,  is  a 
handsome  evergreen  shrub  found 
throughout  the  state,  better  known  as 
the  Christmas  berry,  or  California  hol- 
ly. The  scarlet  berries  are  borne  in  the 
greatest  profusion,  and,  ripening  at 
Christmas  time,  are  extensively  used  in 
decorating.  The  berries  are  said  to 
liave  formed  an  important  article  of 
food  with  the  Indians,  and  school  chil- 
dren frequently  eat  them:  but,  so  far 
as  known,  they  are  not  otherwise  util- 
ized. They  are  not  unpleasant  to  the 
palate,  having  a  healthy,  bitterish  by- 
taste.  The  toyon  is  more  useful  as  a 
hedge  plant,  doubtless,  than  for  its 
fruit.  It  ranks  high  as  an  ornamental 
evergreen,  the  dark  foliage  forming  a 
beautiful  setting  for  the  panicles  of 
white  flowers.  It  appears  in  many 
horticultural  catalogues  under  the 
name  of  Photinia  arbutifolia.

The  datile,  or  wild  date,  of  the  Mexi- 
cans, better  known  to  Americans  as  the 
Spanish  bayonet,  Mexican  dagger 
plant,  wild  banana,  etc.,  occurs  from 
the  Mohave  desert  to  the  vicinity  of 
San  Quintin,  Lower  California,  extend- 
ing eastward  through  the  arid  regions 
of  Arizona  and  Sonora,  and  perhaps  to 
Texas.  It  attains  almost  tree-like  pro- 
portions, and  forms  extensive  forest- 
like  plantations.  Such  a  forest,  when 
in  full  bloom,  is  a  sight  to  be  remem- 
bered. The  large,  waxy,  bell-shaped 
flowers,  of  a  creamy,  sometimes  mark- 
ed with  prune  purple,  are  of  surpass- 
ing beauty.  The  fruit  does  not  seem 
to  mature  well  near  the  coast.  It  is 
somewhat  of  the  size  and  shape  of  a 
banana,  of  a  sweetish  taste,  slightly 
reminding  one  of  a  fig.  Near  San 
Diego  the  plant  is  commonly  under  8 
feet  in  height;  in  the  interior  attains 
to  15  or  18  feet.

'CUPRESSUS  GUADALUPENSIS  S.  Wat. 

The  blue  cypress  is  a  handsome,  slen- 
der tree,  40  to  possibly  60  feet  high, 
with  beautiful  exfoliating  reddish  bark 
and  glaucous  foliage,  first  discovered 
on  Guadalupe  island,  and  later  found 
in  rocky  canyons  near  Ensenada,  on 
the  mainland.  It  proves  not  rare  in 
some  of  the  canyons  near  the  interna-

tional  boundary,  and  Perish  records  it 
in  "ravines  near  the  Old  Mission,  San 
Diego,  not  abundant"  (Zoe.,  4:352).  Its 
graceful  habit  and  compact  growth 
makes  it  one  of  the  most  ornamental 
species  in  the  genus. 
PINUS  COULTERI  Don. 

The  big  cone  pine  is  a  tree  1-2%  feet 
in  diameter  and  50  or  more  feet  high, 
occurring  above  5,000  feet  usually, 
from  Mount  Diablo  to  the  Catalina  • 
mountain  and  on  the  mountains  north- 
east of  Ensenada  in  "Lower  California. 
The  cones  are  long,  oval  pointed,  10-14 
inches  long  and  4  or  5  inches  in  diame- 
ter, yellowish  brown,  persistent  for 
many  years  on  the  tree,  the  scales  with 
a  very  stout,  long  incurved  point  (some- 
times 2  inches  long.) 
PIXUS  LAMBERTIANA  Lam. 

The  sugar  pine  attains  at  times  a 
height  of  300  feet  and  a  diameter  of  8 
to  20  feet,  with  light  brown  smoothish 
bark,  splitting  in  small  sections.  The 
bright  brown  cylindrical  cones  are  1 
to  iy2  feet  long,  3-4  inches  wide,  on  pe- 
duncles 3  inches  in  length,  containing 
smooth,  black  seeds  Vz  inch  long.  "The 
exundation  from  the  partially  burned 
tree  loses  its  resinous  qualities  and  ac- 
quires a  sweetness  similar  to  that  of 
sugar  or  manna,  for  which  it  is  some- 
times used,  whence  the  name  of  sugar 
pine."  (Watson,  Botany  of  California, 
2:123).  The  sugar  which  I  have  col- 
lected from  trees  in  the  Cuyamaca 
mountains  was  very  sweet,  fine  grained 
and  white  as  snow. 
PIXUS  MURICATA  Don. 

A  small  pine,  growing  near  San  Isi- 
dro,  in  Lower  California,  not  known 
from  San  Diego  county,  is  found,  only 
near  the  coast,  as  far  north  as  Mendo- 
cino—where  it  grows  50  to  80  or  120  feet 
high.  At  San  Isidro  trees  only  3  feet 
high  were  perfecting  cones,  which  are 
said  to  persist  over  30  years  on  the  tree 
The  leaves  are  in  pairs.  The  cones  are 
sessile,  ovate,  about  3  inches  long,  with 
stout  prickles  on  the  outside.  The 
cones  occurring  in  whoils  around  the 
stem,  and  remaining  closed  for  many 
years,  are  one  of  the  curiosities  of  Cal- 
ifornia botany.

American  aioe;  commonly  called  the 
century-plant,  as  it  was  formerly  sup* 
posed  to  flower  only  after  the  lapse  of  a 
century.  It  produces  a  tall  flowering 
stem  at  an  age  of  15  to  20  years,  when  It 
dies  after  maturing  seed.  It  is  the  famed 
pulque  plant  of  Mexico,  the  fermented

The  Tecos  grandes  is  the  fruit  of  the 
beautiful  blue  palm  of  Lower  Cali- 
fornia, and  forms  an  important  article 
of  food  with  the  Indians,  ripening  in 
July  and  August.  The  fruit  is  the 
size  of  a  common  marble,  with  sweet 
mealy  pulp  surrounding  the  large  stone 
(.  %  inche  in  diameter).  The  tree  grows 
40  feet  high,  bearing  its  fan-shaped 
glaucous  leaves  in  a  very  graceful 
manner.  This  palm  was  first  found 
in  the  Camillas  canyon,  Lower  Cali- 
fornia, which  opens  out  onto  the  Colo- 
rado derest,  by  Dr.  Edward  Palmer. 
Dr.  J.  N.  Hose  has  since  found  it  in 
Mexico,  east  of  Mazatlan,  I  believe. 
The  seeds  require  from  six  months  to 
three  years  in  which  to  germinate— 
the  older  seeds  germinating  more 
quickly  than  when  fresh  from  the 
tree.  I  have  had  them  germinate 
readily  when  over  ten  years  old.

for  his  directing  my  attention  to  various 
forage  plants  whose  valuable  qualities 
had  previously  been  unsuspected.  Col-

rocks  in  a  canyon  leading  into  the  Colo- 
rado desert,  on  the  old  stage  line  from 
San  Diego  to  Ft.  Yuma.  With  H.  gla- 
bra,  Torrey,  this  plant  is  commonly 
known  as  deer  weed,  but  its  smaller 
growth  will  render  it  less  valuable  for 
cultivation  and  it  is  apparently  too  limi-

ance as  a  wild  forage  plant." — Orcutt,

ABCTOSTAFHYZ.OS  MANZAZTlTA 
Parry. 

Manzanita  is  a  Spanish  name,  tie  di- 
minutive of  manzana  (apple),  hence 
means  a  "little  apple."  The  name  is 
generally  applied  to  all  the  spec:es  of 
Arctostaphylos,  and  a  writer  in  Mee- 
han's  Monthly  (3:85)  uses  the  name  Ar- 
batus  Menziesil.  The  manzanita  one? 
BO  common  on  the  mesas  back  of  San 
t)iego,  is  Arctostaphylos  bicolor.  The 
shrub  to  which  the  name  more  especial- 
ly belongs  in  California,  and  \vhic'.i 
sometimes  becomes  a  small  tree,  is  il.at 
named  Arctostaphylos  manzanita  by 
Dr.  Charles  Christopher  Parry  —  the 
A.  pungens  of  the  earlier  writers  on 
California  botany.  This  manzanita  is 
common  from  Mexico  to  Oregon, 
through  the  foothills  and  mountains,  in 
dry,  rocky  soil.  The  fruit  is  a  dull  red, 
mealy,  and  pleasantly  sub-acid,  well- 
named  by  the  Mexicans  the  "little  ap- 
ple," though  botanically  a  near  rela- 
tive Of  the  cranberry  instead  of  thfc 
apple.  The  Indians  gather  the  fru«t  in 
September  in  great  quantities  for  food, 
and  it  is  eaten  freely  by  animals  end 
birds.  It  makes  excellent  jell:/,  ?nd 
the  finest  flavored  vinegar,  as  clear  us 
water,  may  be  prepared  from  the  fruit. 
The  numerous  other  varieties  of  man- 
zanitp.s  all  produce  more  or  less  simi- 
lar pdible  fruit,  and  are  all  moa'ly 
small,  straggly  evergreen  shrubs, 


see 

graceful  in  their  own  peculiar  way,  and 
bearing  in  earliest  spring  time  a  pro- 
fusion of  lovely  white  blossoms,  some- 
times blushing  a  rosy  red  in  a  snow- 
storm. 
QUERCUS  ENGEL.MANNI  Greene. 

The  Englemann,  or  Post  oak,  is  a 
small  spreading  tree,  40  feet  high,  With 
a  trunk  usually  under  3  feet  in  dia- 
meter. Not  rare  near  Pala,  Fall- 
brook,  the  Potrero,  and  into  Lower  Cal- 
ifornia, 20  miles  or  so  from  the  sea. 
EPHEDRA  CALJFORNICA  S.  Watson. 

"Canatiila",    Mountain    tea,    and    iepo- 
pote. 

(fide  ttavard),  are  names  applied  to 
several  of  the  genus  Ephedra.  "They 
are  popular  remedies  among  Mexicans 
and  frontiersmen  in  the  treatment  of 
syphilis  and  gonorrhoea,  especially  the 
latter.  The  decoction  or  infusion  of 
the  stems  has  an  acid  reaction  and  an 
astringent  taste  resembling  that  of 
tannin.  It  is  used  as  an  injection  and 
internally;  some  caution  should  be  ob- 
served as  it  has  been  known  to  cause 
strangury."  (DF.  V.  Kavard.  vide 
Proc.  U.  S.  Nat.  Mus.  VIII.  504.)  The 
specieS  Dr.  Havard  refers  to  are  E. 
antisyphiiitica  C.  A.  Meyer  and  E. 
trifurea  Torrey,  but  the  Same  remarks 
seem  to  apply  equally  well  to  our  Cal- 
ifornian  species.  It  is  often  usei  as  a 
substitute  for  tea,  and  is  scarcely  dis- 
tinguishable in  taste,  except  for  an 
aiier-flavor,  not  unpleasant,  reminding 
one  slightly  of  catnip  tea.  It  is  in 
great  renown  as  a  blood  purifier  and 
many  have  volunteered  to  me  their 
opinion  that  it  was  "better  than  sar- 
saparilla"  and  without  an  equal.  I  have 
never  heard  of  unpleasant  effects  fol- 
lowing its  use.  It  is  a  valuable  seda- 
tive. Experiments  and  analyses  prove 
it  to  be  not  Superior  to  E.  antisyphiiit- 
ica—which  already  has  a  place  among 
American  drugs.

the  most  curious  productions  of  the 
plant  world,  forming  a  tree  often  over 
SO  or  40  feet  high,  resembling  a  great 
carrot  with  its  roots  in  the  air.  Dr.

Lichens.  These  diminutive  plants 
are  found  in  a  great  variety  of  forms  and 
in  abundance  in  the  vicinity  of  San  Die- 
jro,  and  southward  along;  the  c«-ast  of 
Raja  California  The  shrubs  and  Miches 
are  often  covered,  especially  In  the  vi- 
cinity of  the  sea  where  subjected  to  the 
influence  of  frequent  fogs  or  moist  ocean 
breezes. 

Euphorbia  misera,  species  of  Atriplex, 
Lycium,  and  other  genera  are  thus  dec- 
orated,—the  trunks  and  branches  with 
the  microscopic  fruits  of  Lecapora  and 
still  more  inconspicuous  genera,  while 
the  tops  are  festooned  and  often  almost 
concealed  by  the  luxuriant  rr^owth  of  fo- 
liaceous  species,  Ramalina.  Rocce'ta  Sic. 

The  me'-ns  around  San  iMegn  are  pro- 
lific in  rqr+h  forms,  the  hard  stm-b^ked 
ground  being  largely  colored  with  the 


371 

bright  red,  yellow,  black,  or  white  fruits 
and  thalli  ot  Biatora,  Rinodina,  &c. 

The  pebbles  and  boulders  ireely  scat- 
tered over  these  mesas  (and  these  re- 
marks apply  with  equal  force  to  the  me- 
sas of  Baja  California,  at  least  as  far  as 
Lagoon  Head)  are  also  brightly  colored 
with  the  thick  red  fruits  of  Placodium 
bob.cinum,  the  black  species  known  as 
Verruca  ria  nigrescens,  with  the  lar^e 
black  fruit  ot  Lecanora  atra  with  its 
broad  \vhite  thallus,  or  with  various 
broad  patches  of  some  foliaceous  species 
— white,  yellow,  brown,  or  of  some  otlr 
er  tint  or  shade  that  harmonizes  with  its 
surroundings, — contrasting  pleasantly 
with  the  reddish  brown  earth  or  the  grey 
colored  stones  upon  which  they  are  com- 
fortably seated. 

The  weather-stained  shingles  that 
Stockton  used  to  roof  the  old  mission  of 
San  Diego  were  highly  colored  with  the 
commoner  species  of  lichens  when  I  first 
knew  that  historic  edifice-  Other  roofs 
and  fences  of  more  recent  origin  are  sim- 
ilarly decorated,  and  often  prove  of  great 
attraction  to  the  botanist  as  furnishing 
data  relative  to  thtir  rapidity  of  growth. 
The  humble  home  of  the  trap-door 
spider  (Cteniza  californica),  securely 
closed  b)'  a  neat  fitting  door,  tightly  held 
against  possible  intruders,  is  oiten  found 
further  concealed  by  a  luxuriant  growth 
of  lichens.  Whether  the  sagacious  lady 
of  the  honse  is  to  be  credited  with  their 
transplanting,  as  is  claimed  by  some  nat- 
uralists, or  whether  they  themselves  se- 
lected the  site  of  their  abode,  and 
reached  full  maturity  after  the  spider's 
house  was  built,  are  questions  which  it 
would  be  interesting  to  have  settled. 

Turning  away  from  the  close  proximity 
of  the  sea,  we  find  the  rocks  in  the  rug- 
ged canyons  which  bieak  through  the 
foothills  covered  with  a  multitude  of 
equally  bright  and  pretty  lichens,  ivhich 
often  actually  lend  color  to  the  whole 
landscape.  Thus  the  recks  at  the  he;.d 
of  the  celebrated  Cantiilas  c'tnyon.  in 
northern  Baja  California,  are  i  ich  yellow 


372 

while  the  rocks  in  the  San  Tehno  Can- 
yon, near  San  Quintin,  Lower  California, 
are  white  with  lichens—  whitened  as  if 
they  had  Deen  haunted  by  sea  fowl  for 
centuries!

PIiANT  IDENTIFICATION. 

Perhaps  no  greater  service  can  be 
done  the  rising  generation  in  America 
than  the  establishment  of  a  bureau 
where  specimens  of  plants,  insects, 
minerals,  etc.,  could  be  sent,  with  a 
fair  prospect  of  securing  the  correct 
names.  Scientific  activity  has  never 
been  greater,  and  institutions  glad  to 
render  satch  aid  have  never  been  more 
numerous.  Yet  even  a  professional 
botanist,  with  an  acquaintance  with 
specialists,  and  the  specialists  them- 
pelves,  with  all  the  available  facilities 
of  modern  institutions,  find  infinite 
difficulties  in  their  way.  Botany  is 
not  an  exact  science,  and  its  litera- 
ture has  become  so  intricate  and  cum- 
bersome that  no  one  can  hope  to  fully 
master  it.  As  the  late  Thomas  Mee- 
han  has  remarked,  the  greatest  need 
at  the  present  time  is  not  more  liter- 
ature, but  an  index  to  what  we  al- 
ready have.  To  render  the  subject 
Etlll  more  difficult,  there  has  arisen 
much  controversy  over  nomenclature, 
until  no  one  can  be  quite  sure  as  to 
the  names  that  should  be  used. 

One  writer  (Heller,  Muhlenbergia 
1:135)  remarks  that  he  "can  see  no 
object  in  burdening  literature  with 
varietal  or  form  names."  Hence  ev- 
ery albino  must  be  ranked  as  a  spec- 
ies, or  remain  nameless.  Every  dis- 
tinct variety  must  be  raised  to  spe- 
cific rank  or  ignored.  Even  this  could 
be  borne,  if  botanists  would  refrain 
from  describing  specimens  as  species, 
but  each  must  be  allowed  individual 
freedom,  to  describe  new  species  of 
thunder,  If  he  likes,  as  one  notable 
American  botanist  has  done. 

Such  a  bureau  as  Is  needed,  would 
require  for  the  naming  of  American 
plants  alone  a  library  that  would  cost 
far  more  than  $100,000,  an  herbarium 
that  would  require  years  to  form,  and 
trained  specialists  with  unlimited 
leisure  and  patience,  to  solve  the 
problems  that  would  confront  them. 
A  botanical  garden  on  no  mean  lines 
would  also  be  found  indispensable  to 


376 

the  proper  conduct  of  the  work, 
Fools  rush  in  where  angels  fear  to 
tread — and  this  magazine  is  not  yet 
equipped  for  the  work  outlined.  We 
shall,  however,  from  time  to  time 
give  practical  directions  and  advice 
to  those  seeking  to  take  up  botanical 
work. 

As  a  possible  help  to  the  student, 
we  have  decided  to  give  carefully 
compiled  descriptions  of  the  plants

far  as  possible,  with  the  hope  that  in 
time  the  beginner,  by  saving  up  these 
pages.  "Will  be  fairly  equipped  to  iden- 
tify the  native  plants  of  the  Golden 
State,  and  be  able  to  judge  for  him- 
self as  to  the  rightful  names  for  our 
trees  and  flowers.

CEREUS.  As  recognized  by  many 
botanists,  this  genus  contains  over  200 
species,  natives  of  tropical  America,, 
the  West  Indies,  and  Galapagos 
Islands,  including  what  others  class 
as  separate  genera—  Echinocereus, 
Echinopsis,  and  Pilocereus.  Until  bet- 
ter known,  many  of  the  varied  forms 
cannot  with  certainty  be  referred  to 
the  proper  sections  of  this  great  genus, 
which  is  characterized  by  Bentham 
and  Hooker  as  follows:  —  Calyx  tube 
produced  beyond  the  ovary;  lobes 
numerous,  exterior  scale-like,  interior 
elongated,  spirally  imbricated:  petals 
indefinite,  larger  than  the  calyx  lobes, 
spreading1,  stamens  numerous;  fila- 
ments adnate  to  the  base  of  the  calyx, 
the  inner  free;  ovary  exserted.  scaly: 
style  filiform:  stigmata  5  to  indefinite: 
fruit  scaly  or  tuberculated:  flowers 
lateral,  often  night-blooming.

forming  arches  and  rooting  at  the  joints, 
and  thus  spreading  over  wide  areas,

II.  14:338.  The  Velvet  cactus  occurs 
in  thickets  often  a  hundred  feet  in  di- 
ameter,  near  the  seashore  from  LoS 
Angeles  county,  California,  south  to 
Las  Huevitas,  in  Baja  California 
( Brand egfce).  In  a  San  Diego  garden 
it  has  attained  a  height  of  10  feet, 
with  unusually  thick  joints,  but  the 
stems  are  commonly  prostrate,  2-3 
feet  long,  1%  inch  in  diameter:  flow- 
ers abundant  near  the  top  of  the 
branches,  rather  short,  yellow,  2 
inches  or  more  wide:  fruit  iy2  inches 
in  diameter,  densely  covered  with 
numerous  pulvilli,  each  bearing  20-25 
stiff  yellow  spines,  from  2-6  lines  long, 
3  of  them  stouter  and  longer  than  the 
rest,  often  an  inch  long:  seed  1.2-1.4 
line  longr,  with  a  very  prominent  keel 
and  linear  hilum.  (5-10) 
C.  £ng;elmaiml.  This  beautiful  Cush- 
ion cactus  was  discovered  by  t)r. 
C.  C.  Parry,  who  named  it  in 
honor  of  his  life-long:  friend,  Dr. 
George  Eng-elmann,  whose  botanical 
studies  had  been  especially  directed 
toward  the  Cactaceae.  It  was  found 
near  San  Felipe,  in  the  mountains  east 
of  San  Diego,  California,  and  in  Ari- 
zona, and  also  occurs  in  Utah,  Nevada, 
and  Baja  California.  In  the  Mohave 
desert  large  oval  masses  containing  75 
or  more  heads  from  one  root  have 
been  observed,  but  commonly  4-8 
heads  occur  loosely  in  a  Cluster, 
3-12  inches  high,  2-3  in  diameter:  ribs 
10-14.  interrupted:  spines  usually 
whitish,  often  brown  or  varicolored, 
straight  or  flexuous.  anervilar,  radials 
1^-1(5.  an  inch  loner  or  less,  the  later- 
als long-est,  the  4-8  centrals  3  inches 
long  or  less:  flower  about  2  <nn>  >g 
across,  open  night  and  day  for  about  a 


383 

week  before  closing;  scales  of  the 
ovary  45-50,  the  lower  ones  minute, 
the  upper  sepaloid,  brownish,  half  inch 
long,  nearly  one-fourth  wide  at  base; 
axils  of  the  scales  bearing  12-15  or 
more  short  white  spines  imbedded  in 
wool,  forming  spiny  areolae  in  fruit, 
easily  detached  at  maturity  but  not 
deciduous:  sepals  12-15,  brownish 
along-  the  midvein  outside;  petals  of 
equal  number,  magenta  color,  2  Inches 
long-,  oblanceolate;  stamens  many, 
nearjy  an  inch  long,  filaments 
magenta,  stigmata  12,  green,  at  first 
erect:  flowers  in  May  or  June,  fruit 
ripeninsr  in  July,  the  crimson  pulp  of 
o,  delicious  strawberry  flavor:  seeds 
black.  (5-20)

"Prostrate,  very  rarely  branched,  13-rib- 
bed,  3-4  fe>et  long,  3-4  inches  in  diameter; 
rooting  from  the  under  side  of  the  older 
growth,  decaying  at  one  end  and  growing 
forward  at  the  other,  generally  in  patch- 
es of  20-30,  probably  originating  from  a 
common  center;  areolae  4-6  mm  in  diam- 
eter, separated  about  the  same  distance; 
spines  about  20,  stout,  ash-colored,  less 
than  an  inch  long,  the  exterior  cylindric- 
al, the  interior  stouter,  angular,  some- 
what the  lower  central  one  much  flat- 
tened, more  than  an  inch  long,  angular, 
strongly  reflexed.  Common  on  the  sand 
of  MagxMlprta  island  and  about  San  Jorge, 
Baja  California.  Its  local  name  Is  'chil- 
enola.'  The  manner  of  growth,  with  up- 
lifted heads  and  prominent  reflexed 
spines,  gives  the  plants  a  resemblance  to 
huge  caterpillars."— Brandegee,  Cal  ac  pr

valves  and  dropping  the  greenish 
white  pulp  with  its  black  seeds.  Com- 
mon along  the  Rio  Colorado,  on  rocky 
slopes,  and  eastward  through  Arizona. 
The  w*oody  skeleton  consists  of  long- 
rods,  corresponding  to  sinuses  between 
the  ribs,  in  younger  plants  distinct,  in 
older  ones  connected  by  a  network  of
